mate for Spectral amp that is not Spectral


Hello all,
I have a Spectral dma 180 series 2 and need to match a used preamp to it. I am looking in the $4-600 range. That is why A Spectral pre is unattainable.

I would love to hear your thoughts. I would love a phono section as I have a Revox tt but it is not a deal breaker. Driving Maggies and I have MIT cabling.

thanks for your help,
Ken

Another good choice within your budget would be a PS Audio 4 or 5. Both offer excellent sound quality! I also have two of the PS 4's. But alas, both are missing the external power supplies.
Thanks so much for your thoughts. I have a line on an Audio Research at $600 so the top of my range but I was not sure the Spectral will play nicely as it is somewhat picky, right?
Any preamp with sufficiently low output impedance (most) will work well with Spectral amps. And no need for special and expensive IC's either!
